SQUASH-A-MILE, SPREAD A SMILE.

Squash-A-Mile (SaM) is an initiative of the squash fraternity. SaM was first conceived in the U.K. in 2010.

Rhea Advani, a National level squash player, organized the first SaM for V Care in 2012, after her mother recovered from cancer, in association with V Care Foundation to help cancer patients with medicines and cancer treatments.

Since then this is an annual event. Every year the Squash fraternity get together with friends and supporters under this noble initiative and pledge funds and run the mile in the squash courts at Bombay Gymkhana.

What is Squash-a-Mile?
-The event is about the SPIRIT OF GIVING. We can all contribute a little something to help the less fortunate.
-Each person involved will either run/walk the 165 court lengths (approximately one mile) at their own pace and pledge a fixed sum of money, or pledge an amount per every length run at the squash court (could be any amount you decide per length run). Only those who complete 165 lengths will be timed and awarded Certificates.
-The coming together of the squash fraternity- in fact, the entire community in Mumbai, in support of cancer awareness.

A grand success and a fun filled event.

A great platform to create awareness and to raise funds for cancer patients.
Team V Care thanks Mr. and Mrs. Advani, and the organizing team for their dedicated support.
Thank you all the generous donors, the participants and the supporters.
Every kind of support , big or small, in kind or in service is greatly appreciated by all of us at V Care…

Dandiya Event at ACTREC, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai.

Beautiful decorations, cheerful colours and amazing music made a lovely evening. Patients made garlands, so many doctors made the effort to join in.Patients got so involved that we had a series of individual performances. Some danced some sang and some rendered Bhajans.
A group of young children danced from the start to finish. Their energies were infectious.
Singing and dancing is so therapeutic while being fun and such a lovely connection too.
The evening ended with dinner we all enjoyed together.

Dandiya Program at ACTREC

Dandiya Raas is the traditional folk dance form of Gujarat and Rajasthan India, and is associated with scenes of Holi, and lila of Krishna and Radha at Vrindavan. Along with Garba, it is the featured dance of Navratri evenings in Western India.

Dandiya program was organized for the patients and families who are staying in Vasundhara Hostel at ACTREC, Kharghar (Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer) – a unit of Tata Memorial Hospital and children from St. Jude.

The fun and frolic event of Dandiya night commenced in the presence of around 150 people at around 5:00pm in the evening of 13th October 2018 with the lighting of lamp and a traditional puja by all the V Care Volunteers.
The patients and the caregivers decorated the floor with a beautiful flower Rangoli.

It was a beautiful sight and was extremely nostalgic to watch everyone swaying to the beats in complete delight and playing dandiya. The delightful sight of energetic light-footed young boys and girls swirling in graceful rhythmic Garba and enthusiastically playing Dandiya evoked admiration among all present there. Traditional Garba music, Dandiya numbers along with some peppy Bollywood songs kept everyone glued to the dance floor all throughout the evening till the very end of the event.

Dr. Navin Khatri along with his team of doctors and few surgical residents joined the celebration.

The event concluded by giving Vote of Thanks and awarding prizes to the winners for the best couple, best dancer (male and female), best dressed up child and for those who had made rangoli. This followed by sumptuous

Squash-A-Mile 2018

A grand successful and fun filled event.

The idea of Squash-a-mile was germinated by Rohaan and Rhea Advani. Over the years they have encouraged youngsters from various schools to help organize the event and raise funds. This year our enthusiastic young Squash-a-mile organizers were in the age group of 14 to 21 years.

Kudos to our young organizers for organizing a grand and successful event.
Congratulations to one and all for all the efforts put in to reach out to many more. Keep up and all the best in all that you do.
Thank you for being the beacon of hope!
